The SGI and new Apple CD-ROM drives (Toshiba makes the SGI unit,
while Sony makes the Apple unit) supports the proper SCSI command
to access audio data from audio CDs.  I haven't tried it, but
someone mentioned in a comp.sys.mac.* newsgroup said that with
the newer Macs and the Apple 300i drive, he was able to
disconnect the supplied microphone and record directly from an
audio CD into a Mac SND file.  However it's done, it's certainly
possible--I didn't followup to find out what the sampling rate
was.
